A REAL TULIP, ETC.

As a change from the origami tulips, I thought I'd post some pictures from one of my folks' gardens, including a real tulip.

I love multicolored tulips.

I have no idea what these are. They're pretty though. They remind me a bit of Stephanotis, but I know that they aren't.

These are similar to the ones above, though the petals are skinnier and they're obviously not the same color. They mix together in part of the garden and look so pretty together.

I love my folks' place. They put so much work into the gardens, especially my dad. It's like heaven there. I wish I had inherited their green thumbs (rather than an allergy to the entire outdoors - though that did get me out of a lot of weekend weeding chores and mowing the lawns).
